Learn Maharishi's Transcendental Meditation

Learn Transcendental Meditation as taught by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi! Millions have learnt it during the last fifty years and everyone enjoys it. Everyone benefits from it and says: "Transcendental Meditation is wonderful!"

What is Transcendental Meditation?

Maharishi`s Transcendental Meditation is a simple, natural, effortless mental procedure which allows the mind to experience finer and finer levels of the thinking process, resulting in the direct experience of the source of thought, pure consciousness, the total potential of natural law -- a state of perfect balance, peace, and bliss.

Experience of this field through the Transcendental Meditation technique produces a state of deep restful alertness in mind and body, distinctly different from the three ordinary states of waking, dreaming, and sleeping. The experience of this fourth major state of consciousness releases deeply rooted stress and rejuvenates and revitalizes the entire nervous system.

Regular practice of Transcendental Meditation enlivens evolutionary qualities in daily life so that life is lived more in accord with natural law, free from mistakes, problems, and suffering. With regular practice, this peaceful, settled state of mind begins to be maintained along with dynamic activity. By growing in this value of inner peace maintained in dynamic activity, you become a unit of world peace.

Extensive scientific research has shown that individuals practicing the Transcendental Meditation technique enjoy improvements in all area of life, including an increase in creative intelligence, greater orderliness in thinking, better physical and mental health, and the development of a state of inner fulfillment conducive to harmonious human relationships.

How to learn Transcendental Meditation to unfold the creative genius intelligence within?

Life is always directed toward more and more—more success and more fulfilment. It is the natural tendency of the mind to move toward greater happiness. Maharishi’s Transcendental Meditation is the technology for everyone to become more creative, more energetic, and happier within themselves.

There are seven states of consciousness:
1. Waking state of consciousness,
2. Dreaming state of consciousness,
3. Sleeping state of consciousness,
4. Transcendental Consciousness,
5. Cosmic Consciousness,
6. God Consciousness, and
7. Unity Consciousness.

Knowledge is different in different states of consciousness. By experiencing the fourth state of consciousness, Transcendental Consciousness, through Transcendental Meditation, higher states of consciousness unfold until enlightenment—Unity Consciousness—the full awakening of consciousness, dawns, in which one’s total creative potential supports success in every aspect of life.

So what happens during Transcendental Meditation?

During Transcendental Meditation the individual’s awareness settles down and experiences a unique state of restful alertness. As the body becomes deeply relaxed, the mind transcends all mental activity to experience the simplest form of awareness—Transcendental Consciousness—where consciousness is open to itself. This is the self-referral state of consciousness.

The experience of Transcendental Consciousness develops the individual’s latent creative potential, while dissolving accumulated stress and fatigue during the practice. This experience enlivens within one’s awareness creativity, dynamism, orderliness, and organizing power, which results in increasing effectiveness and success in daily life.

Transcendental Meditation is practised twice a day for 15 to 20 minutes in the morning and evening while sitting comfortably with the eyes closed, and:
· is practised by people of all levels of intelligence, of all ages, cultures, religions, and educational backgrounds,
· provides deep rest to the nervous system,
· expands the conscious capacity of the mind,
· spontaneously unfolds the full potential of the individual, and
· enriches all aspects of daily life.

All the intelligence we display in our life comes from our thoughts, and thought comes from somewhere deep inside. We locate the centre of Creative Intelligence within each individual at the source of thought, beyond the finest aspect of thinking—pure consciousness—the reservoir of Creative Intelligence—a reservoir of infinite intelligence, energy, and creativity.

Leading quantum physicists have identified Transcendental Consciousness as the home of all the Laws of Nature—the Unified Field of Natural Law—which governs the orderly evolution of the universe.

Since 1955, over five million people throughout the world have learnt Maharishi’s Transcendental Meditation Programme. The natural effectiveness of the technique has been borne out by the personal experience of individuals from all walks of life who regularly practise Transcendental Meditation, and has been documented by extensive scientific research in all areas of life—physiology, psychology, sociology, and environment.

For action to be powerful, thinking must be powerful. A strong foundation is necessary for a strong structure.

As a tree is strongest at its roots, so also a thought is most powerful at its source. By contacting the source of thought through Transcendental Meditation, thought becomes more powerful, resulting in more rewarding action.

Just as we water the root of a tree to nourish every aspect of the tree—its branches, leaves, flowers, and fruit—when we take deep rest, it is the basis for dynamic, successful action in all areas of life.

Transcendental Meditation is the technique to do less and accomplish more.

Like an arrow pulled back on the bow for maximum dynamism to hit the target, Transcendental Meditation takes the awareness to the source of thought, the field of pure Creative Intelligence, from where every thought is most powerful and precise, and most capable of achieving its desired goal.

Psychologists say that man generally uses only a small portion of his mind—only 5–10%. This explains why life is not enjoyed in its full potential. Transcendental Meditation develops full mental potential in a natural manner.

A man is known by how his mind functions. The clarity of awareness that develops through Transcendental Meditation is vital to everyone, no matter what their interest or profession.

Scientific research has also shown that those who practise Transcendental Meditation have access to the ‘brain reserve’—the total potential of Creative Intelligence, the holistic value of brain functioning—which supports the partial values of activity of specific parts of the brain during the processes of hearing, touching, seeing, tasting, smelling, and their corresponding actions.

This means that as the practice advances, the individual mind is increasingly in tune with the Cosmic Mind in a spontaneous manner, and all thought, speech, and action have the support of the infinite organizing power of Natural Law.

This holistic value of brain functioning develops as we alternate the deep rest of Transcendental Meditation with dynamic activity.
